Does Santa Exist?

Eric Kaplan Little,

ERIC Kaplan’s Does Santa Exist? might seem a perfect fit for the ‘toilet read’ genre — a whimsical ‘philosophical investigation’ by a comedy screenwriter whose credits include The Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons.

But the book is odder and deeper than that. Kaplan is a Berkeley-trained philosopher and former Buddhist monk, whose late brother had Down’s Syndrome.
